A Scottish Borders Council spokesperson said: “The council has worked with partners including Police Scotland to put on these sessions which we think will prove really beneficial to drivers aged over 65 in the Borders.

“Older drivers have been identified as being one of the groups who are at greater risk of being injured in road accidents.

“To continue driving safely, there is a need to recognise that changes can happen, and seek help and advice to be able to drive safely for longer. This is what these Drivewise Borders sessions offer.”
